Howdy gents! I moved my BoB II install over to a new HDD, on a new machine with Win 10. Now I'm getting a "Could not find the Rowan registry key !" when I start this. Is there an easy fix without reinstalling?

That's a problem I've never before seen, but Windows 10 does cause many difficulties with BoBII. I'd suggest asking over at the dedicated BoBII forum at A2A.

I'm on Windows 7, but some have created a paritioned Windows 7 install on Windows 10 systems in order to play the game. I don't know how savvy you are at these things, but it can be done.

I don`t think its possible to just drag the BOB2 install folder to another HD and expect it to work particularily to Win 10 where it`s been problematic since the birth of the that O/S.However there is now a patch [https://www.moddb.com/mods/bob2-windows-10-patch] that sorts that issue but requires a clean install from the original BOB2 CD.Hope this Helps.
